In his case it was more of a pretending that he never had a pretender in him, if you know what I mean. Like dating the start of his reign before the Battle of Actium.
But maybe he didn't really do that. I am not 100% certain, even though it was common practice among Roman emperors. The only case in Roman history I can think of where someone tried to erase someone completely is when Caracalla killed Getta.
Akhenaten. Poor heretic on the egyptian throne. After his death the old elite, especially the priests, tried to erase him from history.
Yes, our nations first gay satanist asian president. Her story was very thoroughly suppressed.
A well known case is the damnatio memoriae decreed by the Roman emperor Caracalla against the memory of his younger brother Geta; after murdering him he ordered his name to be erased from all monuments and public records, and his statues and portraits to be defaced or destroyed, like in the "Severan tondo" were emperor Septimius Severus was portrayed with his wife Julia Domna and their two sons Caracalla and Geta:
They upscaled the picture, modified the new print by painting or pasting stuff on it and took a new picture of the picture.
The reverse is also quite funny: people added to historical events they were not present

Sarkozy at the Berlin Wall?
Sarkozy at the Berlin Wall?
For example, or the centrist Hervé Morin, his minister of Defence minister, who pretended to be at the D Day landing in Normandy while he was born after the war
But I was more thinking to
which feature Laetitia Buonaparte who refused to be there...
Or
which feature Albrecht von Roon who wasn't neither there
Take another picture from the same spot and put them togther is probably the most likely answere.
I know about ********* but who is, or was rather, the other nonperson?Here in the forum people have also recieved damnatio memoria. E.g. ********* and ******.
I know that Stalin was quite short. Yezhov must have been a real midget

r y o k e n. No idea what he did. By the way the guy named ****** was active for less than a day on christmas eve 2002, but the guy named ******69 is banned, so it must be him who did something. Funny that his number isn't starred. Also I wonder what would happen if the ****** from 2002 suddenly came back.
Examples please.In best (Korean) cases they add people to historical events that didn't even happen.
Pretty much whole of stories involving Kim Il-sung's guerilla campaign against Japanese occupiers waged from Mt. Paektu and Kim Jong-il's birth there are fabrications. Only thing that is true is that Kim was a guerilla leader, but pretty much everything about what he did and where is fabrication, because leading a small group of Koreans under the Chinese commnists didn't fit his later narrative. There are also load of fabricated stories about Kim Jong-il. One was about how little Jong-il during Korean War told his father to change the route his car was driving, after which, other cars continuing on the same route were hit by American air raid.
Talking about Kim Jong-il, he had a younger brother who died as a child (drowned by his elder brother while the two were playing at pool according to some people) and is never mentioned in the official Kim family biographies.
